Ok yesterday before going to work a started the car to warm it up and I decided to record the smoke this time. The thing is that this time I think it was more than ever, so I didn't even take the car to work.

So, if I get smoke only on startup and every time I'm not driving the car can this really be the oil control rings? For example, I start the car around 5:00 am in the morning let it sit there a like 15 20 min of course I get a **** ton of water vapor, a lot more but I mean a lot more than my neighbor's Eclipse, thats ok. Take my wife to work and as soon as I park to drop her off the wite smoke stars again some times a little blue but not all the time but theres always something and thast every time im not driving it. Of course not 100% alwas there be time that it does not do it but thats just some times.

I owned a 1990 Plymouth turbo laser. It was a fun little car, when I could keep it on the road.
